Slight Change of Programme
Please note that the programme for this concert has changed slightly and will now be as below.

It is the fate of myths to be taken up and reworked across the centuries, every time permeated by the ever-changing human Zeitgeist. The myth of Ariadne – universal in its interplay of love, oppression, political cunning, salvation and the alternation of deceptive joy and pain – has repeatedly inspired musicians in some of their finest creations, from Claudio Monteverdi to Richard Strauss.

This musical programme focuses on the myth of Ariadne in the 18th Century, following a double thread: an artistic one, tracing its narrative variations, and a geographical one, moving through the major European musical capitals, from London to Vienna via Naples and Dresden.
